Non League Day Update

The 5th annual Non League Day takes place this year on Saturday 6 September, timed as always to coincide with an international break which gives supporters of Premier League and Championship clubs to chance to watch their local side in action.

The event has grown in size and stature every year and a number of clubs have already announced their plans for the day.

Boldmere St Michaels’ of the Midland Football League, for instance, are aiming to get 200 fans through the gates for their Premier Division game against Brocton with admission priced at £2 (200 pence) for adults and concessions and under-12’s going free.

AFC Totton have reduced admission prices to £5 for their game against Stratford Town and are hoping to see plenty of Southampton and Bournemouth fans in attendance.

Grantham Town have announced £6 entry for season ticket holders of any Premier League or Football League club who comes to the home game against Ashton United.

These are just a few of the hundreds of examples of innovative ideas to boost crowds and profiles that will be announced over the next few weeks. The best place to keep tab of everything is on the Non League Day website where there is an interactive match finder and also on their Twitter page.
